Publisher Description

▼▲

From the author's experience working with women, most sexual struggles in marriage today are a consequence of one or both of the partners' sexual pasts. Wilson sees this epidemic of sexual disinterest among married women as an unforeseen consequence of the sexual revolution.

In Kiss Me Again, she helps readers understand how buried feelings of shame, resentment and distrust rooted in the past can spoil sexual intimacy in marriage. Then with her trademark honesty and personal warmth, Wilson intoduces readers to a biblical, hope-filled journey of healing, re-bonding, and rekindled desire.

Chapters describe key steps in the healing process. For example:

Identifying and healing woulds

Breaking sexual bonds

Becoming friends again

Re-igniting desire

Wilson closes by showing how her readers can draw on their own experiences to become agents for change in families and community, and how to keep sexual and emotional health a priority in the years to come.

The Lord is doing some serious work in me and this book was the "kick start" I needed to dig deep and deal with some issues from my past. Barbara has a very easy step-by-step process for dealing with past bonds and does it in a very encouraging way. I can't wait to finish the book and see how it changes my marriage!

Kiss Me Again by Barbara Wilson is a book I will recommend. But because of the delicate subject matter, I will be careful when I recommend this book. This is not a light read. Some of the stories shared in the book are heartbreaking.The interesting thing about this book is that it serves its readers well in different ways. It provides factual information at the same time it provides emotional support to those who need healing in this area. It can be an intensely personal book while it can serve as a resource about this important subject. In my copy of the book, I have earmarked for later use these segments: * the Biblical perspective about sex including a list of six reasons God gave us sex. * a list of talking points to use when talking to your kids about sex. discussion about the damage done by todays hooking-up culture. * the study guide at the back of the book with life-building scripture references.But mostly, this is a book about healing for women and restoration for marriages. It confronts wrong choices made and bad stuff that happens and the way those events impact our view of sex. It exposes lies to the light and encourages growth. Mostly it offers hope. And that makes this book worth picking up.

If you would like to strengthen your marriage, if you would like to be more intimate with your husband this is the book for you. As I read these pages I felt that this book was written just for me. I believe any woman or man can relate to the words on these pages by Barbara Wilson. There is hope in restoring lost intimacy between you and your husband.

Barbara shares scripture, she uses the word of God to bring healing. Many times we are wanting our marriage to change, to be better, and to share on a deeper level, but we don't know where to begin, or how we got to the place where we are now. Through each page Barbara opens up our wounds, shows us where healing has to begin and takes us on a journey that will go from our past to a greater future in our marriage.
